docs: custom autosummary template + residual triage (PR 2.5)

 |-------|----------|----|----------|
 | R comparison tests spawn separate `Rscript` per test (slow CI) | `tests/test_methodology_twfe.py:294` | #139 | Low |
 | CS R helpers hard-code `xformla = ~ 1`; no covariate-adjusted R benchmark for IRLS path | `tests/test_methodology_callaway.py` | #202 | Low |
-| ~1583 `duplicate object description` Sphinx warnings — restructure `docs/api/*.rst` to avoid duplicate `:members:` + `autosummary` (count grew from ~376 as API surface expanded) | `docs/api/*.rst` | — | Low |
 | Doc-snippet smoke tests only cover `.rst` files; `.txt` AI guides outside CI validation | `tests/test_doc_snippets.py` | #239 | Low |
 | Add CI validation for `docs/doc-deps.yaml` integrity (stale paths, unmapped source files) | `docs/doc-deps.yaml` | #269 | Low |
-| Sphinx autodoc fails to import 3 result members: `DiDResults.ci`, `MultiPeriodDiDResults.att`, `CallawaySantAnnaResults.aggregate` — investigate whether these are renamed/removed or just unresolvable from autosummary template | `docs/api/results.rst`, `docs/api/staggered.rst` | — | Medium |
-| `EDiDBootstrapResults` cross-reference is ambiguous — class is exported from both `diff_diff` and `diff_diff.efficient_did_bootstrap`, producing 3 "more than one target found" warnings. Add `:noindex:` to one source or use full-path refs | `diff_diff/efficient_did_results.py`, `docs/api/efficient_did.rst` | — | Low |
-| Tracked Sphinx autosummary stubs in `docs/api/_autosummary/*.rst` are stale — every sphinx build regenerates them with new attributes (e.g., `coef_var`, `survey_metadata`) that have been added to result classes. Either commit a refresh or move the directory to `.gitignore` and treat as build output. Also 6 untracked stubs exist for newer estimators (`WooldridgeDiD`, `SimulationMDEResults`, etc.) that have never been committed. | `docs/api/_autosummary/` | — | Low |
 | HonestDiD `test_m0_short_circuit` uses wall-clock `elapsed < 0.5s` as a proxy for "short-circuit path taken" instead of calling the full optimizer. Replace with a direct correctness signal (mock/spy the optimizer or check a state flag) so the test doesn't depend on CI timing. Not flaky today at 500ms, but load-bearing correctness on a timing proxy is brittle. | `tests/test_methodology_honest_did.py:246` | — | Low |
 | SyntheticDiD: rename internal `placebo_effects` variable to `variance_effects` (or `resampled_effects`). Misleading name across the placebo/bootstrap/jackknife dispatch paths — holds three different contents depending on variance method. Low-risk refactor; user-facing field rename should preserve `placebo_effects` as a deprecated alias for one release. | `synthetic_did.py`, `results.py` | follow-up | Medium |
